Travel Grants

Members of the PhD School can receive a travel grant for research stays abroad if the application provides a clear explanation why and how the research stay will benefit the candidate’s project.

The grant typically covers travel and accommodation costs. Food costs are covered if accommodation does not provide access to kitchen facilities. Other costs may be covered if the need for those is clearly documented and is within the maximum funding amount for the specific time period.

Members can only receive one IBA research stay grant per year.
Members may apply for several shorter research stays in one application as long as it does not accede the maximum amount per year of 54,000 NOK (incl. travel).
Members who have not received research stay grants previously will be prioritized.
